Chevy Silverado 1500 parts.

pairs with: Headers, Tune

why this one: aFe claims the smallest gain of any cat-back here, +5 hp and +6 lb-ft, so at $1,153 you are paying mostly for sound and stainless construction. One ordering trap: aFe also sells an older MACH Force-Xp cat-back that fits the 2019 Silverado 1500 LD carryover body, which is a different truck, so buy by this Vulcan part number. A black-tip version of the same system exists if polished is not your look.

pairs with: Headers, Tune

why this one: This is the priciest cat-back in the group at $1,445 and AWE publishes no horsepower number for it, so you are buying fit, finish and a factory-look tip rather than a power figure. AWE sells the same 0FG system under several tip and exit styles from roughly $1,295 to $1,895, so make sure this OE-style version is the look you actually want before you order.

pairs with: Intake, Headers

why this one: Borla's aggressive S-Type tone with a premium carbon fiber tip finish - a step up in looks from the standard chrome-tip S-Type.

also carried: Performance Truck Products, Borla Direct

pairs with: Headers, Intake, Tune

why this one: This is Borla's dedicated 6.2L-specific S-Type system (not a shared 5.3L/6.2L part), confirmed on Borla's own site for both 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500. Note it is only listed for Extended Cab/Standard Bed and Crew Cab/Short Bed configurations - other cab/bed combos are not confirmed on this SKU.

also carried: Phastek Performance

pairs with: Intake, Headers

why this one: Corsa backs this one with a real dyno claim (+17 hp / +15 lb-ft) rather than just a sound upgrade, and keeps the factory-look bezels instead of aftermarket tips.

also carried: AmericanTrucks, Phastek Performance, JDP Motorsports

pairs with: Headers, Intake, Tune

why this one: Corsa's own site states a specific, real claimed gain (+17 hp/+16 lb-ft) for this exact 6.2L Silverado/Sierra system rather than a vague "improves flow" pitch, and it is sold direct through Corsa's approved affiliate program (Corsa Direct) so a purchase here can actually be tracked.

also carried: AmericanTrucks

pairs with: Headers, Tune

why this one: Cheapest cat-back here at $949.95 and the only one claiming a double-digit gain at both ends, +21 hp and +26 lb-ft. That figure is Flowmaster's own published number rather than an independent test, and it was found on a reseller listing instead of Flowmaster's page, so read it as a best case and not what your truck will make.

also carried: Redline360, Holley/Flowmaster Direct

pairs with: Headers, Tune

why this one: Gibson is the only one here that tells you where its claimed gains land: +10-15 hp and +15-20 lb-ft, optimized for 1,800-3,000 RPM, which is the range you tow and pull away from a light in. It is still a manufacturer claim rather than an independent dyno, and the $1,044 price was a sale off a $1,743 list, so confirm current pricing before you count on it.

also carried: LM Performance, Redline360

pairs with: Intake, Headers

why this one: MagnaFlow's more affordable Street Series line - a straightforward, budget-friendly step up from the factory exhaust.

also carried: Phastek Performance, Performance Truck Products

pairs with: Headers, Intake, Tune, Skid plates

why this one: This is MagnaFlow's off-road-oriented "Overland" cat-back with a high-clearance design, confirmed by MagnaFlow as one continuous SKU across the full 2019-2026 span including the 2022.5 refresh - no separate pre/post-refresh part needed.

also carried: AmericanTrucks

pairs with: Headers, Intake, Tune

why this one: MagnaFlow's own listing confirms this SKU for both the Chevy Silverado 6.2L and GMC Sierra 6.2L in one part, with a single passenger-side rear exit and polished stainless tips - a factory-looking upgrade rather than a loud aftermarket look.

also carried: Performance Truck Products

pairs with: Intake, Headers

why this one: MBRP's budget aluminized tier - the cheapest real cat-back option in the catalog for this engine if you just want a sound change without spending stainless-steel money.

also carried: eBay (MBRP authorized), PB Dyno, West Bend Dyno

pairs with: PPE 2.7L Turbo Resonator Delete, aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake (2.7L), ECU tune/piggyback (e.g. JB4)

why this one: The only branded charge-pipe kit currently sold for this specific engine platform (GM 2.7L Turbo L3B/TurboMax) - the factory plastic tubing has tight bends that are a known restriction point under boost; this is a straightforward bolt-on with no ECU flash required.

also carried: aFe Power (direct), AmericanTrucks

pairs with: aFe BladeRunner Charge Pipe Kit, Cold Air Intake

why this one: The cheapest real bolt-on for this engine's charge-air path and explicitly confirmed to cover the 2022+ TurboMax/High-Output revision as well as the 2019-2021 first-gen engine - a good standalone starting mod or a complement to the aFe charge pipe kit.

also carried: Alligator Performance

pairs with: Tune, Supercharger

why this one: No tune, no injector swap and no pump swap, and the module stays invisible to scan tools, so this is the simplest way onto E85. The retailer listing for this part claims 40 to 45 wheel horsepower on E85. The catch is obvious: you get nothing out of it unless E85 is actually sold where you live.

also carried: TRE Performance

pairs with: Tune, Supercharger

why this one: AFD builds this specifically for the 6.2L (2020+ T1XX), explicitly plug-and-play with "no tuning required," confirmed for both GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado in the product title itself.

also carried: FI Performance

pairs with: Tune, Supercharger

why this one: This shared 5.3L/6.2L SKU works for either engine on the 2014-2018 truck, both makes confirmed by name in the product title. FITMENT AMBIGUITY FLAGGED: AFD's own page states fitment as "2014-19" without breaking it out by engine or by trim; since the 6.2L engine was never offered on the 2019 Silverado 1500 LD / Sierra Limited K2XX carryover (per this catalog's own vehicles table, that trim is 5.3L L83-only), the "19" portion of AFD's stated range is treated here as unverified for the 6.2L specifically and this row is scoped conservatively to 2014-2018 only.

also carried: TREperformance

pairs with: Tune, Supercharger

why this one: This is the bigger of Katech's two sets, rated to 1,400 wheel horsepower on gasoline or 1,000 on E85 for $700 more than the Stage I. That headroom is real, but most street trucks will never reach even the Stage I ceiling, so only buy up if your power target genuinely demands it. Same 7.5mm stem, so 2021 and newer heads are out, and a supporting tune is required either way.

also carried: Gwatney Performance

pairs with: Tune, Supercharger

why this one: Katech rates this set to support up to 1,200 wheel horsepower on gasoline or 900 on E85, which covers most boosted 5.3L and 6.2L builds without stepping up to the Stage II set. It only makes sense alongside a supercharger or a built engine plus a supporting tune, and it is a deep teardown job on a Gen V engine. The 7.5mm stems will not fit 2021 and newer heads.

pairs with: Cat-Back, Tune

why this one: ARH sells this same long system in two tube sizes at nearly the same price, and this is the smaller 1-3/4 inch version. ARH publishes no horsepower figure for either, and a long-tube swap is an 8-plus hour job most people hand to a shop and follow with a tune. One caveat before ordering: Sierra 1500 fitment was not confirmed for this specific part number.

also carried: AmericanTrucks, TRE Performance

pairs with: Cat-Back, Tune

why this one: This is the larger-tube version of ARH's long system and it costs about $35 more than the 1-3/4 inch kit, which makes tube size the real decision rather than price. Unlike its smaller sibling, this part number is confirmed to fit the 5.3L Sierra 1500 as well as the Silverado. ARH publishes no power number, and this is a shop-level install that wants a tune afterward.

also carried: American Racing Headers Direct

pairs with: Cat-Back, Intake, Tune

why this one: American Racing Headers builds this specifically for the 6.2L T1XX truck (2019-2026), not a shared 5.3L/6.2L part, and keeps the catalytic converters in the Y-pipe so it stays closer to street-legal than an off-road-only header.

also carried: Phastek Performance

pairs with: Cat-Back, Intake, Tune

why this one: This is ARH's dedicated K2XX-era 6.2L header (2014-2018 only), separate from their 2019+ T1XX part, with a catted Y-pipe. GMC Sierra fitment is not confirmed on this specific listing, so treat it as Chevrolet-Silverado-verified only for now.

also carried: Phastek Performance

pairs with: Cat-Back, Tune

why this one: At $569.99 this is by far the cheapest way into headers on this truck, and because shorties reuse the factory Y-pipe the install is shorter than a long-tube system, though still a 5 to 7 hour job. BBK's "up to 14 hp" is marketing copy with no dyno chart behind it. Retailers also disagree on whether coverage ends in 2022, 2023 or 2024, so check your year before ordering.

also carried: RealTruck, 5 Star Tuning, Truckworks Unlimited, Summit Racing

pairs with: Cat-Back, Tune

why this one: At $3,776 this is the most expensive part in this group and Kooks publishes no power figure for it, so it is a buy-the-brand decision. Budget for a shop, 8-plus hours and a tune on top of the part price. Retailers also disagree on the end year, AmericanTrucks saying through 2026 and Beefcake saying 2024 while Kooks lists only "2019+", so confirm your model year first.

also carried: Kooks Headers, Beefcake Racing, Black Ops Auto Works, Drift HQ

pairs with: Cat-Back, Tune

why this one: This costs nearly three times BBK's shorty for the same install job, so you are paying for Kooks' construction and its stepped Torque Series design, which Kooks says is built for power across the RPM band rather than just up top. No horsepower number is published. Worth knowing: Kooks' own fitment text names the Silverado and not the Sierra, though a verified review on their page is from a 2026 Sierra AT4 owner.

also carried: AmericanTrucks, Phastek Performance, Texas-Speed.com

pairs with: Cat-Back, Intake, Tune

why this one: Kooks' own page confirms this exact header fits continuously from 2014 through 2026, spanning both the K2XX and T1XX chassis generations without a separate part - useful if you are not sure which chassis generation your specific truck is.

also carried: Accesspeed.com

pairs with: Cat-Back, Tune

why this one: Choose this version if you are keeping the factory exhaust, since it is built to mate to it and costs $190 less than the Performance Connect kit that needs a Stainless Works exhaust behind it. It is listed for the 5.3L only, carries a lifetime warranty and is made in the USA, with no published horsepower figure. Long tubes are a shop install and want a tune.

also carried: Stainless Works Direct

pairs with: Cat-Back, Tune

why this one: Only pick this one if you are running or planning a Stainless Works exhaust, because it does not connect to the factory system - that is what the $190 cheaper Factory Connect kit is for. It is the one Stainless Works kit confirmed for both the 5.3L and the 6.2L. Same 304 stainless build, same lifetime warranty, no published power number, same shop-level install.

also carried: Stainless Works Direct

pairs with: Cat-Back, Intake, Tune

why this one: This exact SKU (CT14HCAT) is confirmed by the retailer for both 5.3L and 6.2L on the 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 - one real part covers both engines rather than needing separate 5.3L/6.2L versions.

also carried: Gwatney Performance

pairs with: Taillight, Light Bar

why this one: If your Silverado is a 2022.5 or newer, the pre-refresh headlight kits will not physically fit and this is the direct answer. It is also the most expensive headlight here at $1,399, it fits only trims that came with factory LED headlights and not the halogen WT or Custom, and the vent accent lights are not compatible with the ZR2.

pairs with: Taillight, Light Bar

why this one: This is the styling-first choice for a 2019-2021 truck, and at $1,079 you are paying for the plank look and the startup animation as much as for LED output. It only fits trucks that came with halogen headlights, and ANZO does not list it for the Trail Boss, so check what your truck actually left the factory with before ordering.

pairs with: Taillight, Light Bar

why this one: At $299.50 it is the cheapest way to change the look of the front end without buying whole headlight assemblies, but it is by far the hardest install in this category: the housings have to be opened and resealed, and ORACLE recommends professional installation. It needs factory LED daytime running lights to start with, does not fit the High Country, and the controller adds real money on top.

pairs with: Taillight, Light Bar

why this one: This is the blacked-out version of the clear and chrome Recon headlight, at the same $1,349.95 and the same fitment, so the choice between them is purely appearance. At that price it is worth being sure about the fitment first: 2019-2021 only, and only trucks that came with factory halogen headlights.

pairs with: Taillight, Light Bar

why this one: Recon uses OLED panels for the halo and running light rather than the usual LED strips, and this is the clear and chrome version for a truck you want to keep bright up front instead of blacked out. Price and fitment match the smoked version exactly, so the only real decision is finish, and both are for 2019-2021 trucks with factory halogen headlights.

pairs with: Taillight, Light Bar

why this one: At $459.21 this is roughly a third of what the ANZO or Recon assemblies cost, which makes it the budget entry if you want the projector and sequential signal look without spending four figures. The honest catch is that the listing does not state DOT or SAE compliance, so confirm that first if street legality matters where you live.

pairs with: Taillight, Light Bar

why this one: Go chrome if your truck still wears chrome bumpers and grille trim and you want the headlights to match rather than contrast. Price, fitment and install are identical to the black version, and so is the caveat: the listing does not state DOT or SAE compliance.

pairs with: Taillight, Light Bar

why this one: The reason to know about this one is the 2022 coverage. A 2022 truck badged Silverado 1500 LTD is the older pre-refresh body, so headlights made for the refreshed 2022 truck will not fit it, and this SKU is listed for it. At $499.99 it sits just above the Spyder pair and well under the ANZO and Recon assemblies. Winjet states outright it will not work on trucks with factory LED headlights.

pairs with: Tune

why this one: aFe claims up to 10 hp and 16 lb-ft from its own dyno, a mid-pack number honestly stated. The thing to check before you buy is fitment: the retailer's own page says 2019-2021 while other sources claimed coverage through 2026, and that conflict was never resolved, so verify against your year. Also note the Pro 5R needs re-oiling, unlike Injen's dry filter at a similar price.

also carried: CircuitSpecR

pairs with: Tune, Headers

why this one: One SKU covers both the 5.3L and 6.2L on the 2014-2018 truck with a real, specific claimed gain (+12 hp/+15 lb-ft) rather than a vague airflow pitch. FITMENT AMBIGUITY FLAGGED: an Amazon listing for this same part number bundles in "Silverado LD/Sierra Limited 2019 V8-5.3/6.2L," but aFe's own retailer page scopes this SKU to 2014-2018 only and does not mention the 2019 LD/Limited carryover; the 6.2L engine was never offered on the LD/Limited carryover trim per this catalog's own vehicles table (LD/Limited is 5.3L L83-only), so the Amazon title's "6.2L" + "LD/Limited" combination looks like listing imprecision, not confirmed fitment. Scoped this row to the unambiguous 2014-2018 range only - do not extend to 2019 LD/Limited without a source that confirms it engine-by-engine.
